‘Blame My Mother’s Shampoo,’ Says Miller

Speaking to the presenter, the boxer explained that he had recently used a shampoo at his mother’s home that caused unexpected hair trouble.
“I went to my mama’s house and saw shampoo bottles on the table. I used it and it was like ammonium bleach. I literally lost my hair two days ago,” Miller said. He added that he quickly arranged a hairpiece before the fight and embraced the moment when things went wrong. “I’m a comedian. I make fun of myself,” he remarked.
